Crowds packed Westlake Center as the tree was lit for the first time in downtown Seattle on November 28, 2008. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer/Karen Ducey)
My camera was on a tripod and it was a long exposure. I shot a wide picture of the tree and the thousands of people who packed the street to see it. Then I put on a long lense and tried to capture some faces. The blur of the people around this woman draws your attention to her snapping a photo of the tree.
